Nuclear Engineer, Fuel Cycle
Neon
$65 – $75 · as listed
Neon is seeking advanced nuclear engineers specializing in fuel cycle expertise to participate in AI safety evaluation work. As part of a remote, task-based engagement, you'll develop specialized prompts designed to test how frontier AI models handle sensitive technical requests in nuclear materials and safeguards. Your role involves writing single-turn prompts across varying difficulty levels that assess whether models can distinguish between legitimate technical questions and requests with genuine misuse potential—ensuring responsible AI deployment in high-stakes domains.
This opportunity suits experienced professionals with deep knowledge of nuclear fuel cycles who want to contribute to AI safety research. The work is fully remote and compensated at $65–$75 per hour, with projects structured around discrete writing tasks rather than traditional employment. If you have the technical background and interest in shaping how AI systems handle critical infrastructure topics, this collaborative effort offers meaningful involvement in frontier AI evaluation.
